Yaesu ft 2900 vs 2980 Greetings to all radio guy's. I manage to download and upload to my Yaesu FT2980 without any issue using RT Systems USB-29 cable and the latest version of CHIRP; I also have a Yaesu FT2900 and using the same cable by RT Systems, CHIRP cannot see the radio. I have tried all models in the dropdown menue of the 29xxx series and none work. Any suggestions?

[chirp_users] Virus warning
by Kerry Whittle 20 Sep '21

20 Sep '21

For the second time I’ve gotten a warning from McAfee that there was a virus in the daily download, this time in chirp-daily-20210919-installer.exe. The first time I saw this behavior was with the 20210826 daily, before I was on the list to report it. The reported virus is Real Protect-EC!16F97D3AFE24 Not sure if it’s real or a false positive but I figured I should let you know. The file has been quarantined on my system. Kerry de kk4jo

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20210919 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #662 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix style issue from #9381 [Kosta A <ve7kcy(a)gmail.com>] Prevent spurious error messages in memory editor while editing memories. Fixes #9381. The memory editor has historically excluded the Frequency column from validating checks to determine if/when a value has changed for the previously noted reason in the code comment. This change attempts to resolve this by caching all column values prior to finalizing the editing and restores the values in the case validation determines nothing has changed or the new contents have failed radio verification.

The FT-8900 organizes its memory differently than the FT-8800. Instead of having two separate memories for the left and right sides of the radio, there is just a single memory bank.

[chirp_users] CHIRP under Debian Linux

Unfortunately, CHIRP under Slackware on my wonderful SLINT.fr installation variety is failing to work.

Does anyone have a proven method of adding repositories to the /etc/apt/sources.list in Debian Sid? With hopeful wishes, I remain, respectfully yours. David N1EA =30=

Re: [chirp_users] Problem with Retevis RT98 2M mobile
by Ken Hansen 03 Sep '21

03 Sep '21

Adding to my previous note: I was able to download the Retevis software and read/program my radio, so the comms between laptop & radio should be OK. When I went to the mfg website snd selected the RT98 Vhf radio, I was told to use the proper software based on my radios serial number. My radio serial # is 1907.... so I used V1.01, there is another version (1.02?) for radios with a higher serial number range. I suspect CHIRP isn't handling the particular model I have well. I'm good to program my radio for my needs, but I'm happy to help with testing/debugging if needed to improve support for this radio.

[chirp_users] Wouxun UV9D MATE transmit range
by chris＠imagineimagery.com 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

Hello, thanks in advance for any help you may offer. As a member of my county search & rescue team, I have always used CHIRP to program my handhelds to be able to communicate on our county SAR channels, in the 155 range. With my old Wouxun KG-UV8D, there was an area in the CHIRP settings tab to expand the transmit range into these frequencies… I just upgraded to the KG-UV9D MATE. Although not listed in the official supported radios list for CHIRP, the radio does connect and is programmable as a KG-UV9D PLUS. Understandable as they are practically the same radio. However, the same “transmit range” field that is available in CHIRP settings when I connect to my UV8D isn’t available on the 9D. Is this something that might become available in an update, or is there a workaround? TIA Chris Miller

[chirp_users] MacOS CHIRP won't launch solution.

A few days ago I saw some email exchanges where some people with MacOS , presumably running Mojave or earlier are having problems getting it to start at all. It would quietly fail without any errors. There is actually a solution posted months ago. I’m wondering since this is a known issue, why haven’t this 2 character modification fix been pushed in the macOS default code branch? Anyways, here’s the url to the solution which I always apply when ever I update my CHIRP installation. https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/8845 Lynda W5EGL

[chirp_users] BTECH MURS-v1 "Service Settings" squelch thresholds
by Bill Burgess 23 Aug '21

23 Aug '21

Hello, New subscriber here with a BTECH MURS-v1 question. My application involves emergency neighborhood communications in a spread-out, semi-rural area. Being able to drop squelch to the bare minimum would be helpful in order to get the best possible range. Unfortunately, the default carrier squelch thresholds on this radio appear to be relatively high, even for Squelch #1. At least that’s my subjective impression. So I tried adjusting them with Chirp's Service Settings dialog. My changes appeared to load onto the radio fine, and I offloaded them back to verify. They came back as I had set them. However, my changes seemed to make no difference to the radio’s actual carrier squelch behavior. Even a threshold of 0, which I would have thought would defeat squelch altogether, made no perceptible change in squelch behavior when the corresponding squelch ID was selected. This behavior is identical to that described in Bug #5333, and that was also a BTECH, though a UV-5X3 rather than a MURS-v1. Thanks a bunch for any thoughts or suggestions! Cheers, —Bill

[chirp_users] UV5X Programming issue
by Eric Chopin 21 Aug '21

21 Aug '21

UV5XP.... However to get CHIRP to see the radio either in the 'Download from radio' or 'Upload to radio' ... with the cable plugged in to my PC or my MAC, the radio must me switched OFF...then as I select 'Download or upload' as I select 'OK' i must immediately switch ON my radio then CHIRP sees it and proceeds. If I try to 'Download or upload' with the radio already switched on I get the message 'The radio did not respond' as CHIRP cannot see it connected. Any suggestions? Thanks VE7ECJ

[chirp_users] Port recognition issue
by Dennis Mosley 18 Aug '21

I downloaded CHIRP. Plugged my computer cable to a USB port on my computer and got an Error 3 message saying this port is not recognized. No driver. I use this port all the time. I purchased the cable from Amazon as being the one to buy for my Btech 50+1 radio. Help would be appreciated.--*Your pal.

[chirp_users] Port recognition issue
by Al Jones 18 Aug '21

18 Aug '21

Assuming that you're on Windows when you seem to have a port problem it's really necessary to bring up Device Manager to see which port is in use since the port may / can change depending on which USB port you're plugged into. Hopefully this got out on the list this time. Sorry, Jim.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, the images did not come through (see below), but I did poke around in the Device Manager, but did not find anything resembling the programming cable listed anywhere. The only device listed for COM ports is SQL. Should I see the cable listed? Note: COM3 is the only choice presented for the CHIRP clone import process. Newbie Notes: - I managed to find the MIME / Plain Text flag in the User Settings, and updated it, so images should work now. (please resend) - I changed to receive grouped list (not sure what's protocol for replies) [image: image.png] /===========================================================/ Make sure you have selected the correct port. My programming cable is assigned COM3 but my computer has an internal serial port with nothing connected to it that is assigned COM1. If I accidentally choose COM1, I get the same error. [image: Radio_did_not_respond.png] Use Device Manager to determine which COM port number is assigned to the programming cable. Mine has been assigned COM3. [image: 2021-01-28 08_20_23-Device Manager.png] /===========================================================/ Thanks!

[chirp_users] JT270 M Won't Power Up
by Gene Satterwhite 03 Aug '21

03 Aug '21

I just made a first attempt at programming the JT-270M, and all went well at first - the radio took the programming, so the cable seems good (and it works fine with two other radios), the programming uploaded to the Jetstream, but now the Jetstream won't power on at all! I looked through the help and couldn't find anything about the problem. This is my first post asking for help, so I hope I am going about it the right way. Thanks for your time and for any help!

Unless you are running a very old version of CHIRP (something like from 2014 and before), CHIRP fully supports all 256 possible Windows serial ports from COM1 to COM256. And if I recall, even the very early versions of CHIRP running under Windows supported COM1 to COM16. If you properly configure a higher COM port number in Windows, restart CHIRP and it should be detected. Jim

[chirp_users] Lighthouse Radio Network HELP!
by Steve Lanwermeyer 15 Jul '21

15 Jul '21

Hello there! I represent a group that has been restoring the Cape Decision Lighthouse in southeast Alaska for the past twenty years, and one of our projects this summer is to establish a GMRS radio network on our property. The radios are all getting shipped to Alaska now, but the person who was going to help us program them is no longer available! I am writing to see if anyone here might be willing to help us, potentially by writing and sending us the Chirp files needed to get us up and running. There is no internet or cell coverage where we’re going, but I’ll have a brief opportunity this coming Friday to sit with the radios and a computer and Chirp before we leave for the lighthouse on Saturday. The system includes: (3) Baofeng handhelds (1) Baofeng mobile base (1) Retivis repeater I can send send more details about makes and models and any other information you may require! My hope is that someone on this list can can help ensure that the base station and handhelds and repeater can all communicate with each other with Chirp files I can easily upload into each radio. Please send word, and thanks so very much! Happy to make a donation somewhere to get this done in time... Thanks for your consideration! Steve
